Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 17, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), BTHC X Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, iOra Software Limited and iOra Inc. (collectively, the “Borrower”) entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Moriah Software Management LP (the “Lender”).

 

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company borrowed (the “Loan”) $2.2 million (the “Initial Draw”) from the Lender as of the Closing Date, and may be eligible to borrow up to an additional $1.3 million in two tranches of $300,000 and $1 million each contingent upon achievement of certain conditions, including: (i) in the case of the first tranche, representing the second potential draw under the Loan Agreement (the “Second Draw”), no occurrence of an event of default and lock-box agreements having been fully executed in in full force and effect no later than September 15, 2017, (ii) in the case of the Second Draw and the second tranche, representing the third potential draw under the Loan Agreement (the “Third Draw”), satisfying all of the following financial covenants: (a) a fixed charge coverage ratio on a consolidated basis of not less than 1.2:1.0 for the preceding twelve-month period, as measured quarterly as of the last day of each calendar quarter during the term of the Loan Agreement (the “Term”), (b) a funded debt to EBITDA on a consolidated basis of not greater than 3.2:1.0 for the preceding twelve-month period, as measured quarterly as of the last day of each calendar quarter during the Term, (c) minimum monthly gross revenues of not less than ninety five percent (95%) of the projected monthly plan provided by Borrower to Lender prior to the date of the Loan Agreement, as measured monthly as of the last day of each month during the Term, (d) minimum monthly EBITDA of not less than ninety five percent (95%) of the projected monthly plan provided by Borrower to Lender prior to the date of the Loan Agreement, as measured monthly as of the last day of each month during the Term, and (e) at all times during the Term, a minimum of $2.2 million in regularly scheduled payments to Borrower under the Maintenance Contracts over the next 365 consecutive days after the date of the Loan Agreement.

 

The Borrower utilized $700,000 of the Initial Draw to repay a portion of indebtedness of the Borrower to Stocksfield Limited (the “Stocksfield Loan”), pay tax liens of approximately $220,000, pay closing expenses related to the Loan. The Borrower intends to use the remainder of the Initial Draw of approximately $1.8 million for general corporate purposes and working capital. Use of proceeds for the Second Draw and Third Draw will be subject to approval by the Lender; provided however, Borrower will be permitted to use $450,000 of the proceeds from the Second Draw and Third Draw to fund a portion of the Stocksfield Loan if Borrower is in compliance with its financial covenants under the Loan Agreement.

 

The Loan Agreement has a two-year term. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan (the “Term Loan Interest Rate”) will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 360 days and shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan at an annual rate equal to the greater of (i) the sum of (A) the “Prime Rate” as reported in the “Money Rates” column of The Wall Street Journal, adjusted as and when such Prime Rate changes, plus (B) Seven and One Quarter Percent (7.25%), or (ii) Eleven Percent (11.0%). Interest is payable monthly in accordance with the provisions of the Term Loan Note. Following and during the continuation of an event of default, interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan will accrue at a rate equal to five percent (5%) in excess of the Term Loan Interest Rate, adjusted as and when such Term Loan Interest Rate changes (the “Default Interest Rate”).

 

The Borrower has agreed under the Loan Agreement to deposit all proceeds of the Borrower’s sales and all other proceeds of accounts and other collateral by account debtors in lockbox accounts with proceeds directed to Lender and deposited in an account at a financial institution selected by Lender. The lockbox systems will remain in place until unless the Lender directs otherwise, and will terminate upon the indefeasible repayment in full of the obligations (the “Obligations”) under the Loan Agreement and related loan documents (collectively, the “Loan Documents”). Any payments of principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses and other charges provided for in the Loan Agreement or any other related loan Document that have not been paid to Lender will be added to the principal amount of the Obligations, and shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate.

 

 2 

 

 

The Borrower may prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal and accrued unpaid interest under the Loan Agreement at any time upon prior notice to the Lender for any prepayments on or before February 17, 2019 subject to a certain prepayment fees equal to 3% of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan to be prepaid and no prepayment fee thereafter.

 

As security for its obligations under the Loan Agreement, on the funding date of the Initial Draw, iOra Software Limited entered into agreements, including a pledge and security agreement, a patent and trademark security agreement, a patent and trademark assignment, a stock pledge agreement, and debenture with the Lender whereby the Borrower granted to the Lender a lien on substantially all of its assets including intellectual property.

 

The Loan Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for a credit facility of this size and type, including covenants that limit or restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things (but subject in each case to negotiated exceptions), incur indebtedness, grant liens, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, make investments, make acquisitions, enter into transactions with affiliates, pay dividends or make distributions, license intellectual property rights.

 

The Loan Agreement includes customary events of default that include, among other things, non-payment, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant breaches, a change in condition or affairs of the Borrower, cross default to indebtedness or agreements, bankruptcy and insolvency, judgments and a change of control. The occurrence and continuance of an event of default could result in the acceleration of the obligations under the Loan Agreement. Under certain circumstances, a default interest rate of an additional 5% will apply on all outstanding Obligations during the existence of an event of default under the Loan Agreement.

 

In connection with the Initial Draw on August 17, 2017, the Company issued to the Lender two separate warrants to purchase an aggregate of 424,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”).  One warrant is exercisable any time, prior to August 17, 2024 at a price of $2.25 per share, with typical provisions for cashless exercise and stock-based anti-dilution protection (the “7-year Warrant”). The 7-year Warrant also includes a put option (the “Put Option”) pursuant to which the holder may sell all or any portion of the 7-year Warrant or the shares underlying the 7-year Warrant (the “7-year Warrant Shares”) for which the 7-year Warrant has been exercised (the “Put Interest”) to the Company for a total purchase price $863,100, pro-rated for any portion thereof, representing a purchase price of $3.15 per 7-year Warrant Share, subject to adjustment as set forth herein (the “Put Price”). The Put Option may be exercised at any time and, if for a portion thereof, from time to time, during the thirty-day period (the “Put Period”) commencing on the earliest of (1) the date of prepayment in full of the Term Loan (as defined in the Loan Agreement); (2) the date of Lender’s (as defined in the Loan Agreement) acceleration of the Obligations following an event of default which is not cured within any applicable grace period under the Loan Documents (which acceleration right shall not be waived if not exercised following a prior event of default), or (3) July 15, 2019, and ending on the last day of the applicable Put Period (the “Expiration Date”). If not exercised by the Expiration Date, the Put Option shall terminate and will be of no further force or effect. The second warrant is exercisable any time, prior to August 17, 2026 at a price of $4.00 per share, with typical provisions for cashless exercise and stock-based anti-dilution protection (the “9-year Warrant”). The exercise of the Warrants could have a dilutive effect to the Company’s common stock to the extent that the market price per share of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the Warrants, exceeds the exercise price of the Warrants.

 

 3 

 

 

In addition, the Company’s chief executive officer, Mark Thompson, entered into a Validity Guaranty, pursuant to which Mr. Thompson has guaranteed the Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Agreement and Loan Documents.

 

The foregoing description of the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents is only a summary of its material terms and does not purport to be complete. Copies of the Loan Agreement, the Loan Documents, the form of 7-year Warrant, the form of 9-year Warrant and the Validity Guaranty are attached as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.7, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The Loan Agreement is not intended to be a source of factual, business or operational information about the Company or its subsidiaries. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Loan Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by disclosures for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties instead of establishing matters as facts; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors or security holders. Accordingly, investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties.

 3 

 

 

2.2 Exercise. Payment may be made either (i) in cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to the applicable aggregate Exercise Price, (ii) by delivery of the Warrant, or shares of Common Stock and/or Common Stock receivable upon exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the formula set forth below in this Section 2.2, or (iii) by a combination of any of the foregoing methods, for the number of Common Shares specified in such Exercise Notice (as such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder per the terms of this Warrant) and the Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) determined as provided herein. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Current Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Exercise Notice in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

In lieu of delivering physical certificates for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon any such exercise, provided the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, and provided that such shares of Common Stock are properly designated with restrictions on transfer, if any, upon request of Holder, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent electronically to transmit such shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise to Holder (or its designee) by crediting the account of Holder’s (or such designee’s) broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (provided that the same time periods herein as for stock certificates shall apply).

 4 

 

 

(b) If in any case the Company shall fail to issue and deliver the shares of Common Stock to Holder upon Holder’s exercise of this Warrant within three (3) Business Days after Holder gives the Exercise Notice, in addition to any other liabilities the Company may have hereunder and under applicable law, (A) the Company shall pay or reimburse Holder on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel, incurred by Holder as a result of such failure, (B) if as a result of such failure Holder shall suffer any damages or liabilities (including, without limitation, margin interest and the cost of purchasing securities to cover a sale (whether by Holder or Holder’s securities broker) or borrowing of shares of Common Stock by Holder for purposes of settling any trade involving a sale of shares of Common Stock made by Holder, then the Company shall upon demand of Holder pay to Holder an amount equal to the damages and liabilities suffered by Holder by reason thereof which Holder documents to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company, and (C) Holder may by written notice given at any time prior to delivery to Holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with such exercise, rescind such exercise and the Exercise Notice relating thereto.

(a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock; or

 

(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other rights or warrants;

 

the Company shall give Holder, as promptly as possible but in any event at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined. Such notice shall not include any information which would be material non-public information for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. In the case of any such action of which the Company gives such notice to Holder or is required to give such notice to Holder, Holder shall be entitled to give an Exercise Notice which is contingent on the completion of such action.

In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other person, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder of this Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such Holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided herein.

 

3.2 Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, concurrently with any distributions made to holders of its Common Stock, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder of the Warrant pursuant to Section 3.1, or, if the Holder shall so instruct the Company, to a bank or trust company specified by the Holder and having its principal office in New York, NY as trustee for the Holder of the Warrant (the “Trustee”).

 

3.3 Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant. In the event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the consummation of the transactions described in this Section 3, then the Company’s securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holders of the Warrant will be delivered to Holder or the Trustee as contemplated by Section 3.2.

4. Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Exercise Price then in effect. The Exercise Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein. The number of shares of Common Stock that the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to receive shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Exercise Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise.

 

5. Issuances Below Exercise Price. In case the Company shall hereafter issue shares of its Common Stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for its Common Stock, other than any Excluded Securities (as hereinafter defined), without consideration or for a consideration per share or having a conversion or exercise price per share (such consideration, or such conversion or exercise price, as the case may be, referred to as the “Offering Price”) less than the Exercise Price, the Exercise Price shall be reduced immediately thereafter so that it shall equal the Offering Price. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an issuance is made, and to the extent that such shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock), expire, are cancelled or are redeemed after their issuance, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of convertible securities been made upon the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock) actually issued. “Excluded Securities” shall mean securities (i) issued upon exercise of the Warrants issued pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, (ii) issued in a bona fide public offering pursuant to a firm commitment underwriting, (iii) issued in connection with an acquisition of a business or technology, including the financing thereof, that is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, (iv) issued pursuant to a transaction with a vendor of the Borrower, including equipment lease providers, if such transaction is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors; (v) issued upon exercise of the Company’s convertible securities described on Schedule 1 annexed hereto, (vi) issuable upon or (vii) granted to the Company’s officers, directors, consultants (in a manner consistent with past practice) and employees as approved by the Company’s Board of Directors under a plan or plans adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors that are in effect on the date hereof.

6. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of the Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the holder of the Warrant and any Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 10 hereof).

 

7. Reservation of Stock, Etc., Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of the Warrant, shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the Warrant.

 

8. Assignment; Exchange of Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a “Transferor”) in whole or in part. On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the Transferor’s endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Transferor Endorsement Form”) and together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company demonstrating compliance with applicable securities laws, which shall include, without limitation, the provision of a legal opinion from the Transferor’s counsel (at the Company’s expense) that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws, and with payment by the Transferor of any applicable transfer taxes) will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement Form (each a “Transferee”), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.

 

9. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

 

 8 

 

 

10. Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the each Holder of the Warrant, appoint an agent for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1, exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section 10, and replacing this Warrant pursuant to Section 11, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such agent.

 

11. Transfer on the Company’s Books. Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

 

12. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications from the Company to the Holder of this Warrant shall be mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at such address as may have been furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder or, until any such Holder furnishes to the Company an address, then to, and at the address of, the last Holder of this Warrant who has so furnished an address to the Company.

 

13. Put Option.

 

(i) The Company hereby grants to Holder an option (the “Put Option”) to sell all or any portion of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares for which the Warrant has been exercised (the “Put Interest”) to the Company for a total purchase price of Eight Hundred Sixty Three Thousand One Hundred Dollars ($863,100), pro-rated for any portion thereof, representing a purchase price of Three Dollars and Fifteen Cents ($3.15) per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment as set forth herein (the “Put Price”). The Put Option may be exercised at any time and, if for a portion thereof, from time to time, during the thirty-day period (the “Put Period”) commencing on the earliest of (1) the date of prepayment in full of the Term Loan (as defined in the Loan Agreement); (2) the date of Lender’s (as defined in the Loan Agreement) acceleration of the Obligations (as defined in the Loan Agreement) following an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) which is not cured within any applicable grace period under the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement) (which acceleration right shall not be waived if not exercised following a prior Event of Default), or (3) July 15, 2019, and ending at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the last day of the applicable Put Period (and if such last day is not a Business Day, then at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the next succeeding Business Day) (the “Expiration Date”). If not exercised by the Expiration Date, the Put Option shall terminate and shall be of no further force or effect. The Put Option shall be exercisable by Holder’s delivery of written notice to the Company (the “Put Notice”). The Put Notice shall specify the date on which the closing of the purchase of the Put Interest shall take place (the “Put Closing Date”), which such date shall be no earlier than ten (10) days but no later than thirty (30) days from the date of the Put Notice. On or before the Put Closing Date, Holder will deliver to the Company the Warrant and/or certificate(s) for Warrant Shares (if certificated) representing the Put Interest (duly endorsed for transfer by Holder) and the Company shall tender to Holder the Put Price in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account at a bank designated by Holder. The Put Option is assignable by Holder at any time in whole or in part.

 

(ii) The Company and Holder acknowledge and agree that the Company’s obligation to purchase the Put Interest from Holder pursuant to the Put Option is an Obligation secured by the Collateral and any related guarantees under the Loan Documents, and for so long as the Put Option is outstanding and, if exercised, the Put Price is not yet tendered, the Holder’s right to receive the Put Price shall be secured by the Collateral and any related guarantees under the Loan Documents.

 

 9 

 

 

(iii) In the event of any adjustment of the per share “Exercise Price” hereunder, the Put Price per Warrant Share shall be adjusted as follows: the adjusted Put Price per Warrant Share shall be equal to the product of (1) the Put Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment of the Exercise Price, multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the pre-adjustment Exercise Price, and the denominator of which shall be the post-adjustment Exercise Price. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever an adjustment to the Exercise Price is made.

 

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate the exercise of the Put Option upon a Fundamental Transaction (as defined below), as follows: The Company shall send written notice of the proposed Fundamental Transaction (“Fundamental Transaction Notice”) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the date of the proposed consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, together with all relevant information relating thereto, in form sufficient to enable Holder to make an informed decision as to whether it should accelerate the Put Option. Within fifteen (15) days of Holder’s receipt of the Fundamental Transaction Notice, Holder shall advise the Company whether the Holder has elected to accelerate the exercise of the Put Option. Holder’s failure to timely notify the Company of Holder’s intention to accelerate the Put Option shall be deemed an intention to decline to accelerate the Put Option.

 

(v) “Fundamental Transaction” means

 

(1) Any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another entity where the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction do not collectively own at least 51% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger immediately following such transaction; or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in a single transaction or a series of related transactions; or

 

(2) The occurrence of any transaction or event in connection with which all or substantially all the Common Stock shall be exchanged for, converted into, acquired for or constitute the right to receive consideration (whether by means of an exchange offer, liquidation, tender offer, consolidation, merger, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) which is not all or substantially all common stock which is (or will, upon consummation of or immediately following such transaction or event, will be) listed on a national securities exchange or approved for quotation on Nasdaq or any similar United States system of automated dissemination of transaction reporting of securities prices, including the OTC Bulletin Board or OTCQB; or

 

(3) The acquisition by a Person or entity or group of Persons or entities acting in concert as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or group, as a result of a tender or exchange offer, open market purchases, privately negotiated purchases or otherwise, of beneficial ownership of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Company ordinarily (and apart from rights accruing in special circumstances) having the right to vote in the election of directors.

 

14. Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought concerning the transactions contemplated by this Warrant shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the state of New York; provided, however, that the Holder may choose to waive this provision and bring an action outside the state of New York. The individuals executing this Warrant on behalf of the Company agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Warrant is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Warrant. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. The Company acknowledges that legal counsel participated in the preparation of this Warrant and, therefore, stipulates that the rule of construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the interpretation of this Warrant to favor any party against the other party.

Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Current Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Exercise Notice in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

3. Effect of Reorganization, Etc.; Adjustment of Exercise Price.

 

3.1 Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc. In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other person, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder of this Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such Holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided herein.

 

3.2 Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, concurrently with any distributions made to holders of its Common Stock, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder of the Warrant pursuant to Section 3.1, or, if the Holder shall so instruct the Company, to a bank or trust company specified by the Holder and having its principal office in New York, NY as trustee for the Holder of the Warrant (the “Trustee”).

 

3.3 Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant. In the event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the consummation of the transactions described in this Section 3, then the Company’s securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holders of the Warrant will be delivered to Holder or the Trustee as contemplated by Section 3.2.

 

 6 

 

 

4. Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Exercise Price then in effect. The Exercise Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein. The number of shares of Common Stock that the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to receive shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Exercise Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise.

 

5. Issuances Below Exercise Price. In case the Company shall hereafter issue shares of its Common Stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for its Common Stock, other than any Excluded Securities (as hereinafter defined), without consideration or for a consideration per share or having a conversion or exercise price per share (such consideration, or such conversion or exercise price, as the case may be, referred to as the “Offering Price”) less than the Exercise Price, the Exercise Price shall be reduced immediately thereafter so that it shall equal the Offering Price. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an issuance is made, and to the extent that such shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock), expire, are cancelled or are redeemed after their issuance, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of convertible securities been made upon the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock) actually issued. “Excluded Securities” shall mean securities (i) issued upon exercise of the Warrants issued pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, (ii) issued in a bona fide public offering pursuant to a firm commitment underwriting, (iii) issued in connection with an acquisition of a business or technology, including the financing thereof, that is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, (iv) issued pursuant to a transaction with a vendor of the Borrower, including equipment lease providers, if such transaction is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors; (v) issued upon exercise of the Company’s convertible securities described on Schedule 1 annexed hereto, (vi) issuable upon or (vii) granted to the Company’s officers, directors, consultants (in a manner consistent with past practice) and employees as approved by the Company’s Board of Directors under a plan or plans adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors that are in effect on the date hereof.

6. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of the Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the holder of the Warrant and any Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 10 hereof).

 

7. Reservation of Stock, Etc., Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of the Warrant, shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the Warrant.

 

8. Assignment; Exchange of Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a “Transferor”) in whole or in part. On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the Transferor’s endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Transferor Endorsement Form”) and together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company demonstrating compliance with applicable securities laws, which shall include, without limitation, the provision of a legal opinion from the Transferor’s counsel (at the Company’s expense) that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws, and with payment by the Transferor of any applicable transfer taxes) will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement Form (each a “Transferee”), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.

 

9. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

10. Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the each Holder of the Warrant, appoint an agent for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1, exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section 10, and replacing this Warrant pursuant to Section 11, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such agent.

 

11. Transfer on the Company’s Books. Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

 

12. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications from the Company to the Holder of this Warrant shall be mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at such address as may have been furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder or, until any such Holder furnishes to the Company an address, then to, and at the address of, the last Holder of this Warrant who has so furnished an address to the Company.

 

13. Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought concerning the transactions contemplated by this Warrant shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the state of New York; provided, however, that the Holder may choose to waive this provision and bring an action outside the state of New York. The individuals executing this Warrant on behalf of the Company agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Warrant is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Warrant. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. The Company acknowledges that legal counsel participated in the preparation of this Warrant and, therefore, stipulates that the rule of construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the interpretation of this Warrant to favor any party against the other party.

SECTION 12. REMEDIES.

 

12.1 Acceleration; Other Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

 

(a) Lender shall have all rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, the UCC or other applicable law, all of which rights and remedies may be exercised without notice to Borrower, all such notices being hereby waived, except such notice as is expressly provided for hereunder or is not waivable under applicable law. All rights and remedies of Lender are cumulative and not exclusive and are enforceable, in Lender’s discretion, alternatively, successively, or concurrently on any one or more occasions and in any order Lender may determine. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender may (i) accelerate the payment of all Obligations and demand immediate payment thereof to Lender, (ii) with or without judicial process or the aid or assistance of others, enter upon any premises on or in which any of the Collateral may be located and take possession of the Collateral or complete processing, manufacturing and repair of all or any portion of the Collateral, (iii) require Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, to assemble and make available to Lender any part or all of the Collateral at any place and time designated by Lender, (iv) collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, setoff and realize upon any and all Collateral, (v) notify Account Debtors or other obligors to make payment directly to Lender, or notify bailees as to the disposition of Collateral, (vi) extend the time of payment of, compromise or settle for cash, credit, return of merchandise, and upon any terms or conditions, any and all Accounts or other Collateral which includes a monetary obligation and discharge or release the Account Debtor or other obligor, without affecting any of the Obligations, and (vii) sell, lease, transfer, assign, deliver or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral (including, without limitation, entering into contracts with respect thereto, by public or private sales at any exchange, broker’s board, any office of Lender or elsewhere) at such prices or terms as Lender may deem reasonable, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, with Lender having the right to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral at any such public sale, all of the foregoing being free from any right or equity of redemption of Borrower, which right or equity of redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by Borrower. If any of the Collateral or other security for the Obligations is sold or leased by Lender upon credit terms or for future delivery, the Obligations shall not be reduced as a result thereof until payment therefor is finally collected by Lender. If notice of disposition of Collateral is required by law, ten (10) days prior notice by Lender to Borrower designating the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice thereof and Borrower waives any other notice. In the event Lender institutes an action to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of prejudgment remedy, Borrower waives the posting of any bond which might otherwise be required. In addition to the foregoing and without limitation to any other provision hereof, Borrower hereby grants Lender its assignee or any of its representatives and also grants to any purchasers of any Collateral at any public or private sale conducted by Lender, the right and license, for a period of up to ninety (90) days commencing on the date of the conclusion of such public or private sale conducted by Lender, to use all of the Borrower’s names, trade names, business names and trademarks, to enter upon and use the premises where the Collateral is located and to do with the Collateral so purchased, any or all of the Permitted Actions at no cost to Lender and at no cost to any purchaser of any Collateral at a public or private sale conducted by Lender or by any purchaser of any Collateral. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing rights of Lender and any purchasers of Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale conducted by Lender shall survive the Term.

 

(b) Lender may apply the Proceeds of Collateral actually received by Lender from any sale, lease, foreclosure or other disposition of the Collateral to payment of any of the Obligations, in whole or in part (including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Lender with respect thereto or otherwise chargeable to Borrower) and in such order as Lender may elect, whether or not then due. Borrower shall remain liable to Lender for the payment on demand of any deficiency together with interest at the Default Interest Rate and all costs and expenses of collection or enforcement, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses.

 

(c) Lender may, at its option, cure any default by Borrower under any agreement with a third party or pay or bond on appeal any judgment entered against Borrower, discharge taxes and Liens at any time levied on or existing with respect to the Collateral, and pay any amount, incur any expense or perform any act which, in Lender’s sole and absolute judgment, is necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect, insure, maintain, or realize upon the Collateral. Such amounts paid by Lender shall be repayable by Borrower on demand and added to the Obligations, with interest payable thereon at the Default Interest Rate. Lender shall be under no obligation to effect such cure, payment, bonding or discharge, and shall not, by doing so, be deemed to have assumed any obligation or liability of Borrower.

 

 40 

 

 

(d) Lender and Lender’s agents shall have the right to utilize any of Borrower’s customer lists, registered names, trade names or trademarks to publicly advertise, sell, lease, transfer, assign, deliver or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral and Borrower will be deemed to have waived and voided any confidentiality agreements by and between Borrower and Lender.

 

12.2 Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, immediately and without notice of other action, to set-off against any of Borrower’s liabilities to Lender any money or other liability owed by Lender or any Affiliate of Lender (and such Affiliate of Lender is hereby authorized to effect such set-off) in any capacity to Borrower, whether or not due, and Lender or such Affiliate shall be deemed to have exercised such right of set-off and to have made a charge against any such money or other liability immediately upon the occurrence of such Event of Default even though the actual book entries may be made at a time subsequent thereto. The right of set-off granted hereunder shall be effective irrespective of whether Lender shall have made demand under or in connection with the Loan. None of the rights of Lender described in this Section are intended to diminish or limit in any way Lender’s or Affiliates of Lender’s common-law set-off rights.

 

12.3 Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall be liable for all costs, charges and expenses, including attorney’s fees and disbursements, incurred by Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default or the exercise of Lender’s remedies with respect thereto, each of which shall be repayable by Borrower on demand with interest at the Default Interest Rate, and added to the Obligations.

 

12.4 No Marshalling. Lender shall be under no obligation whatsoever to proceed first against any of the Collateral or other property which is security for the Obligations before proceeding against any other of the Collateral. It is expressly understood and agreed that all of the Collateral or other property which is security for the Obligations stands as equal security for all Obligations, and that Lender shall have the right to proceed against any or all of the Collateral or other property which is security for the Obligations in any order, or simultaneously, as in its sole and absolute discretion it shall determine. It is further understood and agreed that, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to sell any or all of the Collateral or other property which is security for the Obligations in any order or simultaneously, as Lender shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

12.5 No Implied Waivers; Rights Cumulative. No delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document or provided by statute or at law or in equity or otherwise shall impair, prejudice or constitute a waiver of any such right, remedy, power or privilege or be construed as a waiver of any Event of Default or as an acquiescence therein. No right, remedy, power or privilege conferred on or reserved to Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise is intended to be exclusive of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. Each and every right, remedy, power or privilege conferred on or reserved to Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise shall be cumulative and in addition to each and every other right, remedy, power or privilege so conferred on or reserved to Lender and may be exercised by Lender at such time or times and in such order and manner as Lender shall (in its sole and absolute discretion) deem expedient.

 

 41

Section 2. Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, Lender shall not demand payment from Guarantor under this Guaranty except to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with one or more of the following (each of the following clauses (a) through (g) being independent and Lender may enforce this Guaranty separately under any or all of them):

Section 11. Bankruptcy; Reinstatement. In the event Lender is not permitted or is otherwise unable (because of the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceeding) to demand or accelerate the Obligations, but otherwise would have been permitted to do so at such time pursuant to any Loan Document, Lender may demand payment in full, and may exercise and enforce any and all of its other rights, powers, privileges, remedies and interests under this Guaranty or the other Loan Documents to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor may be bound or subject, in each case as if the Obligations had been duly demanded or accelerated, and Guarantor will not raise, and hereby expressly waives and releases, any claim or defense with respect to such deemed demand or acceleration. In the event any payment of or any application of any amount, asset or property to any of the Obligations or Guarantor Obligations, or any part thereof, at any time is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower, Guarantor, or any other person or entity, whether by order of any court, by any settlement approved by any court, or otherwise, then the terms and provisions of this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents shall continue to apply, or shall be reinstated if not then in effect, as the case may be, with respect to the Obligations or Guarantor Obligations so rescinded, restored or returned, all as though such payment or application had never been made.

 

Section 12. Enforcement. Lender, in its sole discretion, may proceed to exercise or enforce any right, power, privilege, remedy or interest that Lender may have under this Guaranty, any other Loan Document or applicable law at law, in equity, in rem or in any other forum available under applicable law, severally and cumulatively. Lender may institute one or more proceedings (which may be separate proceedings) with respect to this Guaranty and each of the other Loan Documents in such order and at such times as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion. This Guaranty and the other Loan Documents may be enforced without possession of any underlying promissory note, security agreement or pledge, or its production in any action, suit or proceeding, and without the presence or participation of Borrower or Guarantor, whether through lack of jurisdiction, venue or service or otherwise; and Guarantor will not raise, and each hereby waives, any objection or defense respecting the need for any such production, presence or participation.

 

Section 13. Right to Attachment Remedy. Guarantor agrees that, notwithstanding the existence of any property securing any or all of the Guarantor Obligations, Lender shall have all of the rights of a creditor of Guarantor, including without limitation the right to obtain a temporary protective order and writ of attachment against Guarantor with respect to any sums due under this Guarantee. Guarantor further agrees that in the event any property secures the obligations of Guarantor under this Guarantee, to the extent that Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines prior to the disposition of such property that the amount to be realized by Lender therefrom may be less than the indebtedness of Guarantor under this Guarantee, Lender shall have all the rights of an unsecured creditor against Guarantor, including without limitation the right of Lender, prior to the disposition of said property, to obtain a temporary protective order and writ of attachment against Guarantor. Guarantor waives the benefit of any and all other statutes and rules of law now or hereafter in effect requiring Lender to first resort to or exhaust all such collateral before seeking or obtaining any attachment remedy against Guarantor. Lender shall have no liability to Guarantor as a result thereof, whether or not the actual deficiency realized by Lender is less than the anticipated deficiency on the basis, which Lender obtains a temporary protective order or writ of attachment.

Section 14. Exculpation.

Lender understands that the Warrants and Warrant Shares are being offered pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act based in part upon such Lender’s representations contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, that such Lender is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Lender has received or has had full access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Warrants and Warrant Shares to be issued to it under this Agreement.

 

(iii)        Accredited Investor. At the time the Lender was offered the Warrants and Warrant Shares, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises any Warrants, it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.

 

 4 

 

 

(iv)       Own Account. Lender understands that the Warrants and Warrant Shares are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Warrants and Warrant Shares as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Warrants and Warrant Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Warrants and Warrant Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting the Lender’s right to sell the Warrants and Warrant Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). The Lender is acquiring the Warrants and Warrant Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.

 

(v)         Experience of Lender.

The Lender is not, to Lender’s knowledge, acquiring the Warrants and Warrant Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Warrants and Warrant Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

Section 5. Representations and Warranties. Pledgor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to and with Lender that:

 

(a)       Pledgor (i) is and will at all times during the term hereof continue to be the direct owner, beneficially and of record, of the Securities Collateral free and clear of all Liens (except for the Lien of Lender pursuant to this Pledge Agreement), (ii) will make no assignment, pledge, hypothecation, transfer or any disposition of, or create any Lien or other security interest in, the Securities Collateral, and (iii) will cause any and all Securities Collateral, whether for value paid by Pledgor or otherwise, to be forthwith deposited with Lender and pledged and assigned hereunder;

 

(b)       Pledgor (i) has good and indefeasible title, right and legal authority to enter into this Pledge Agreement and to pledge the Securities Collateral in the manner hereby done or contemplated and (ii) will defend its title or interest thereto or therein against any and all attachments, Liens, claims, security interests or other impediments of any nature;

 

2

(d)       the Pledged Securities were duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and were acquired in a transaction in compliance with and either registered or exempt from registration under the Securities Act and other applicable laws. A true and complete list of the Pledged Securities owned by Pledgor on the date hereof is set forth on Schedule 1 annexed hereto. The Pledged Securities (i) are not subject to any warrant, option, put, call or other right to acquire, redeem, sell, transfer or encumber them, (ii) are not governed by or otherwise subject to any shareholders agreement, voting trust or similar agreement or arrangement, and (iii) other than as to securities laws of general application, are not limited or otherwise restricted in any way respecting assignability or transferability or any voting, dividend, distribution or other ownership right;

(f)       this Pledge Agreement creates a valid security interest in favor of Lender for the benefit of Lender in the Securities Collateral; the taking possession by Lender of the certificates representing the Pledged Securities, and all other certificates, documents, and instruments relating to the Securities Collateral will perfect and establish the first priority of Lender's security interest in all certificated Pledged Securities and such documents, certificates and instruments;

 

(g)       at Lender’s request, Pledgor will file or cause to be filed appropriate Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) financing statements in order to enable Lender for its benefit to perfect and preserve its security interest in the Securities Collateral; and

Section 6. Additional Covenants.

 

(a)       Additional Securities, Rights, Grants or Issuances. If Pledgor shall receive any (i) certificate, including without limitation, any certificate representing a dividend or distribution in connection with any increase or reduction of capital, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, combination of shares of capital stock, stock splits, spin-off or split-off, promissory notes or other instruments; (ii) option or right, whether as an addition to, substitution for, or an exchange for, any Securities Collateral or otherwise; (iii) dividends payable in capital stock in respect of the Securities Collateral; or (iv) distributions of capital stock or other equity interests in connection with a partial or total liquidation, dissolution or reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, then Pledgor shall receive such certificate, instrument, option, right or distribution in trust for the benefit of Lender, shall segregate it from Pledgor’s other property and shall deliver it forthwith to Lender in the exact form received accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, in the form requested by Lender, to be held by Lender as Securities Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations. Pledgor shall not perform or cause to be performed any acts or omissions that would effect any change, amendment, impairment, substitution, or any of the events, transactions or circumstances in clauses (i) through (iv) above.

 

(b)       Financing Statements. Pledgor hereby authorizes Lender to prepare and file such financing statements (including renewal statements) or amendments thereof or supplements thereto or other instruments as Lender may from time to time deem necessary or appropriate in order to perfect and maintain the security interests granted hereunder in accordance with the UCC. Pledgor shall execute and deliver to Lender such agreements, assignments or instruments (including affidavits, notices, reaffirmations and amendments and restatements of existing documents, as Lender may request) and do all such other things as Lender may deem necessary or appropriate to assure to Lender its security interests hereunder are perfected. To that end, Pledgor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Lender, its nominee or any other person whom Lender may designate, as Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, to effect any such financing statements, or amendments and supplements to financing statements, renewal financing statements, notices or any similar documents which in Lender’s discretion would be necessary, appropriate or convenient in order to perfect and maintain perfection of the security interests granted hereunder, such power, being coupled with an interest, being and remaining irrevocable so long as any of the Obligations remain outstanding. Pledgor agrees to mark its books and records (and to cause each issuer of the Pledged Securities to mark its books and records) to reflect the security interest of Lender in the Securities Collateral.

 

Section 7. Voting Rights; Dividends.

 

(a)       So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgor shall be entitled to fully exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers that would otherwise accrue to an owner of the Pledged Securities or the securities consitututing the Securities Collateral or any part thereof.

 

(b)       Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (a) of this subsection shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Lender which shall then have the sole right in its discretion to exercise such voting and other consensual rights.

 

(c)       Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all cash dividends payable with respect to the Pledged Securities shall be immediately deposited with Lender as Securities Collateral (and shall constitute cash collateral).

 

4 

 

 

Section 8. Remedies Upon Default.

 

(a)       After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Lender may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or under any law, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. All such rights and remedies being cumulative, not exclusive, and enforceable alternatively, successively or concurrently, at such time or times as the Lender deems expedient.

 

(i)        If the Lender so elects and gives notice of such election to the Pledgor, the Lender may vote any or all shares of the Securities Collateral (whether or not the same shall have been transferred into its name or the name of its nominee or nominees) and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Securities Collateral and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it was the outright owner thereof, the Pledgor hereby irrevocably constituting and appointing the Lender the proxy and attorney-in-fact of the Pledgor with full power of substitution, to do so.

 

(ii)       The Lender may demand, sue for, collect or make any compromise or settlement the Lender deems suitable in respect of any of the Securities Collateral.

 

(iii)        The Lender may sell, resell, assign and deliver, or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Securities Collateral, for cash and/or credit and upon such terms, at such place or places and at such time or times and to such Persons as the Lender deems expedient, all without demand for performance by the Pledgor or any notice or advertisement whatsoever except such as may be required by law, provided however, the Lender shall give the Pledgor ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale, or the time after which a private sale may be made, which notice the Lender and Pledgor hereby agree is reasonable; and

 

(iv)       The Lender may cause all or any part of the Securities Collateral to be transferred into its name or the name of its nominee or nominee.

 

(b)       Subject to the terms of this Section 8, the Lender may enforce its right hereunder without any other notice and without compliance with any other condition precedent now or hereafter imposed by statute, rule or law or otherwise (all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Pledgor to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law). The Lender may buy any part or all of the Securities Collateral at any public sale and if any part or all of the Securities Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of the type which is the subject of widely-distributed standard price quotations, the Lender may buy at private sale and may make payments thereof by any means. The Lender may apply the cash proceeds actually received from any sale or other disposition to the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like, or reasonable attorneys’ fees, and all legal expenses, travel and other expenses which may be incurred by the Lender in attempting to collect the Obligations or any of them, or to enforce this Agreement or in the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding related to the subject matter of this Agreement; and then to the Obligations in such order as to principal or interest remaining unpaid, including legal interest thereon, and the balance of any expenses unpaid, and any surplus shall be paid to the Pledgor.

 

5 

 

 

(c)       The Pledgor recognizes that if the Lender is unable to effect a public sale of the Securities Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act, the Lender may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor agrees that any such private sales may be at prices and on other reasonable terms less favorable to the seller than if sold at public sales and that such private sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Lender shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Securities Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, even if the issuer would agree to do so.

 

Section 9. Application of Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds of any sale of Securities Collateral pursuant to Section 8, as well as any Securities Collateral consisting of cash, shall be applied by Lender in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. Pledgor irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of such payments and proceeds, and acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and proceeds in Lender’s sole discretion, notwithstanding any entry to the contrary upon any of its books and records.

 

Section 10. Rights of Lender.

 

(a)       Power of Attorney. In addition to other powers of attorney contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents, Pledgor hereby designates and appoints Lender, on behalf of Pledgor, and each of its designees or agents, as attorney-in-fact of Pledgor, irrevocably and with full power of substitution, with authority to take any or all of the following actions upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

 

i       to demand, collect, settle, compromise, adjust and give discharges and releases concerning the Securities Collateral;

 

ii       to commence and prosecute any actions or proceedings for the purposes of collecting any of the Securities Collateral and enforcing any other right in respect thereof;

 

iii       to defend, settle, adjust or compromise any action, suit or proceeding brought and, in connection therewith, give such discharge or release;

 

iv       to pay or discharge taxes, security interests, or other Liens on or threatened against the Securities Collateral;

 

v       to direct any parties liable for any payment, to make payment directly to Lender or as Lender shall direct;

 

6 

 

 

vi       to receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies, claims, and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Securities Collateral;

 

vii       to sign and endorse any drafts, assignments, proxies, stock powers, consents, verifications, notices and other documents relating to the Securities Collateral;

 

viii       to authorize, execute and deliver all assignments, conveyances, statements, financing statements, renewal financing statements, pledge agreements, affidavits, notices and other agreements, instruments and documents that Lender may determine necessary or appropriate in order to perfect and maintain the security interests and liens granted in this Pledge Agreement and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated herein and in the Loan Documents;

 

ix       to exchange any of the Securities Collateral upon any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of Pledgor or the issuer thereof and, in connection therewith, deposit any of the Securities Collateral with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms as Lender may determine;

 

x       to vote for a director, shareholder, partner, manager, or member resolution, or to sign any consent or instrument in writing, sanctioning the transfer of any or all of the Securities Collateral into the name of Lender or into the name of any transferee to whom the Securities Collateral of Pledgor or any part thereof may be sold; and

 

xi       to do and perform all such other acts and things as Lender may deem to be necessary, proper or convenient in connection with this Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for so long as any of the Obligations remain outstanding. Lender shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to Lender in this Pledge Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. Lender shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
